The creation of a character goes through a design process that has several layers, in any animated or live action series. Dragon Ball is no stranger to this modality and that’s why over the years we’ve seen different versions than the ones that made it to the manga or TV, in rough-style sketches.
This is how this original version of zarbonone of Frieza’s faithful henchmen in the second arc of Dragon Ball Z. The Dragon Ball specialists of Hobby Consoles They got this design online and shared it in a review, which we politely joined.
Zarbon is one of the protagonists of the Frieza saga on the planet Namekuseí. He has the particularity of being one of the drivers of Vegeta’s impressive power, in a couple of epic fights that both had.
This component of the high command of Frieza’s army was going to look very different from how we saw it in the anime. Let’s remember that Zarbon had two versions: one was in which he had a face with beautiful features, almost carved by the Gods, and the other was in which he transformed into a monster that increased his power.
That first form, in which it is a beautiful being, is the one that would look different. In fact, he looks a lot like a character that appeared in one of the Dragon Ball movies. His appearance is similar to that of Almond, one of the members of the Turles group, Saiyan deserters who never joined Frieza’s army.
